Application Deadline Advice

Applications may be submitted starting on November 1 for entry the following Fall semester, January 16 for the following Winter semester, and February 1 for the following Summer semester. Early application is strongly recommended.

1. If you do not meet the English entrance requirements it's still possible to be admitted to the program. You will need to complete appropriate upgrading in your first year of studies.

2. Similarly, if you don't meet the Math requirements it's still possible to be admitted to the program. However:

registration is restricted to courses where the prerequisite has been met. This means that registration in CHEM 111, COSC 111, MATH 112 and PHYS 111 is not possible until the Math entrance requirement is met.

registration in MATH 120 (Pre-Calculus) is strongly advised. Successful completion of this course meets the Math entrance requirement. This must be done in your first year of studies to remain in the program.

3. Students enrolling for the first time at Okanagan College who have completed or are registered in a secondary school Calculus course are eligible to write the UBC-SFU-UVic-UNBC Calculus Exam. Students who pass this exam will be given the option of receiving credit for MATH 112 with a grade equal to the grade obtained on the challenge exam or taking MATH 112 for credit.
